Beautiful Tasha

Beautiful Tasha, the splendid cat who adorns Splendid Summer, left this planet on August 14, 2011. Abandoned on a porch one December, weighing only a pound, and deaf, Tasha found her way to my college roommate, Deb Houdek Rule and her husband Geo Rule. Tasha embraced life in ways only a deaf cat would — she rode on vacuum cleaners!

Tasha spent sixteen years on this planet with her adoring human parents. When I told Deb about Splendid Summer, she said Tasha proudly stepped up to play the role of Tatania. Thank you, Beautiful Tasha.

And God asked the feline spirit, “ Are you ready to come home?”

“Oh, yes, quite so, and as a cat, you know, I am most able to decide anything for myself.”
